WHITE WEDNESDAY AT RUST AND RUFFLES

Welcome to another White Wednesday at Rust & Ruffles (previously known as junkdreams)....
Today I wanted to show you a little chair that I have had in the garage forever...I finally finished it up this week and had a chance to snap some pictures of it outside between rain storms.

Sitting on top of the chair is a gorgeous "crown" jar my dad gave me from his collection.
Please visit Kathleen's blog and check out all the White Wednesday participants.
Thank you Kathleen for hosting!!
Happy day!

I absolutely LOVE this idea Janis!!! That chair is too cute and I love the crown jar with peonies too.
I am so disappointed. Last year was the first year my beautiful light pink lacy peonies bloomed and they did wonderful. This year they had several buds and NOTHING! The buds are now gone. I wonder if it was this wonky weather we have been having. I miss them!! :(
Blessings~

Sue said...

I love the simplicity of the chair with such great "words"! And the flowers and the jar just add to the whole setting!

Take care, Sue
